Adonski, you are one of about 5 other Posters that displayed some level of doubt about my original post along with HardTack, Rod Grinter Squad, CHF and Robbie57.

I never quite understand why other Posters express that type of doubt/negativity.  Is it envy or a feeling of inadequacy that some posters just have NO level of inside contacts?

I would have thought that asking you “And you know this how?” would have been a fair question, particularly considering the post was from an anonymous poster on a public forum.

As you state “Is it envy or a feeling of inadequacy...”, we could equally ask whether it’s a bruised ego or a lack of praise from some posters, that makes you find it necessary to list your ‘doubters’ and attempt to belittle them.

The fact that the info does appear to be solid is good, so kudos for that. As I said in an earlier post, there’s been plenty of false prophets on these forums, so you have to expect to be questioned on the veracity of your claims.

And just as I type that last sentence, a notification from the MFC app pops up, telling me that Trac is now a demon for life ?

Goodwins gone through much more adversity then Roos did with us. Goodwins had his own challanges and rebuilt the list back up again. Without Goodwin, Oliver, Salem and Petracca are looking at new clubs.

Roos got what he came for and that was the $$. This whole notion of the club wouldn't be here without him is actually laughable.

The whole Roos / Goodwin debate is a moot point. The fact is no one has done anything yet. We are in round 7 and coming off 9th and 17th placed seasons. Let's wait untill we are a successful club (ie winning premierships) before we start deciding who did what.

Just look at Dustin Martin and his deal with Bonds for one example.

Do I have to? ?

Thanks Tracc.
And thanks MFC.

Getting some great signatures of late without all the will he/won't he BS.
So happy right now.

@Lucifer's Hero perhaps the most satisfying update ever awaits your contracts thread 

Now being reported that the deal is worth well over $1mil per year as was reported by @goodwindees. Where did the narrative that he wanted to leave some $$$ for his team mates come from, because earning that much cash is not going to help retain your LG, Kozzies, Rivers and other emerging stars in a few years time.

Unless there is some clever front/backloading being done here, i cant see how this was a team focused decision. 

Dont get me wrong, i am wrapped he has signed for 7 and he is well worth what he is getting paid - just questioning the narrative.

Tell me you don't want to play for Collingwood without telling me you don't want to play for Collingwood

Even if that's the case, what is the Salary Cap/median wage going to look like in 5 years time?

 

 

 

I’m pumped about the 7 years thing. Could never really get around Jesse in his prime years because of the Perth factor and that you always knew he would leave us one summer. No such drama with Trac. He’s ours baby. 

Also loving the way many MFC players have been instantly sharing contract news on their IG stories. Like they’re equally excited as us fans.

100%
Could end up bargain basement for a top of the line footballer with his best years still infront of him.
And hate to say it but Max Gawn is closer to the end than the start.
He'd chew up abit I'd guess.

We have to offer Trac what ever he wants. Players of his ilk don’t grow on trees and we may not ever draft a player of his talent again.

However we must be of the understanding that we probably won’t be able to land a huge free agent in the next while and may see some our unsung players like an ANB seek a pay day elsewhere.

Lever, May, Gawn and BBB surely aren’t

out of the goodness of their heart. And Oliver will be seeking $900K a year when he reaches free agency.

We need to re-sign Trac on big money and absolutely win a flag within 3 years.

Lever and Gawn recently extended their previous contracts. Didn’t Gawn go on record as saying he took less to allow other contracts like the Oliver, Salem and Petracca one’s to happen.

With regards to a big free agent, what position needs feeling? We have a balanced list with a number of quality players. 
 

Players like ANB etc whilst having great seasons, to me wouldn’t get that much more at other clubs and would stay for less for the chance of ultimate glory.

I’m not sure what’s funnier..

When Carlton fans thought they could get Oliver or when Tony Shaw thought they could get Petracca!!!

Where the hell is @Wiseblood??? He's been the voice of reason and positivity around here for years when you'd have to grasp at straws -> should be at the front of the queue in enjoying all this.....

As big a signing as it gets. Massive.

Been wondering the same ?

So good, this is awesome news! Now let's get ANB signed beyond 2022 and were set.
